If you've already accepted your offer but now want to defer, contact UQ Admissions on (07) 3365 2203 or admissions@uq.edu.au. If classes have started, it's too late to defer.

During deferment

If you've deferred your studies, you're not officially a UQ student. This means you can't:

attend classes

access the library or student support services

access UQ systems and online student resources, or

receive a UQ student card.

Your deferred offer will be cancelled if you enrol in study at bachelor level or higher at any tertiary institution (including UQ) while you're on deferment.

If your program is discontinued during the deferment period, you may not be able to start studying this program. We'll contact you about alternative study options, and you'll have to re-apply through QTAC.

Starting study after deferment

To start study after your deferment, you must enrol in at least one UQ course by early December. We'll email you to remind you to enrol.
